    • Stage One - Promotes the five trails in the Waihaorunga / Hakataramea area. This area to the west offers the experienced rider trails from 20kms to overnight adventures of 150kms. These trails reward the riders with spectacular views of the Southern Alps, Mt Cook to views of the Waitaki Valley and rural scenery looking south.
    One trail which will no doubt become a favourite is the 'Pub to Pub' run consisting of 55kms taking you from Waihao Forks Hotel to Meyers Pass after a steady climb to the Meyers Pass summit it is mostly a downhill run emerging at the Hakataramea Hotel.

     Interesting stuff about the Red-necked Wallaby. I had no idea they were pests! Bike ride sounds enchanting. Museum looks great. Emphasis on architecture was super. Thanks for tour of such a lovely place.
